The aim of the course is to let the students learn how to analyze the built cultural heritage, giving them the method and the tools for the planning of the preliminary analysis on an existing building as a basis for the conservation project. The course will provide introduction on conservation topics and on multidisciplinary analysis of the built heritage. And will be focused on the construction features of historical buildings: materials, such as natural and artificial stones, ceramic materials and wood; the main traditional building techniques and how preliminary studies, surveys and analysis can guide in planning the conservation intervention.
Theory and history of conservation. Longimetric and geometric survey . Use of terrestrial laser scanner and 3D imaging in the field of Architectural Heritage. Description of building techniques. Recognition of building materials. Degradation phenomena on natural/artificial building materials and restoration methods. Non Destructive Tecniques for the diagnosis of Historic Structures.
Programma esteso PROGR_EST No The intervention is organized in a first phase of general research about bibliography. The second phase is as it follows: the collection and checking of existing reliefs; the creation of a booklet with external, internal and detailed photos to focus the theme and the architectural features; the study of the principal building features (even the construction system) and the materials used; the study of the main geological instability and the alteration of building materials and the analysis of the evolution of the building (the modifications during the times due to human or climatic actions) Requested materials: Analysis of the building and its state of conservation. At the end it is requested to define a program of intervention or the creation of a conservative project of the ruins following the rules of minimum modeling. When the conditions enable a different solution, the student can plan the conservation of the building, creating new structures also detached, in material and ideal terms. In order to integrate this structure with the new architecture even without looking for a continuity of usage. The students should consider: the relationship between the new and old architecture in the light of the earthquake proof regulations; a survey of the materials to be used according to the building; the compatibility of a new heating or plumbing or electrical system required by the new structure. Materials requested: a plan with the foreseen demolitions and reconstructions, the renovation plan and the conservation of the preexisting structures, architectural plan of the eventual new structures, the project of the different aptitude, functions and paths (even for disabled) with the building particulars (structures and system)

2 hours/week of theory and 3 hours/week of on site workshop.
The final exam will consist in the discussion of the workshop and in the oral evaluation of the topics of the lessons and of the bibliography.
